Faculty Strikes Hit California State Universities
Faculty members at the California State University system are engaging in rolling strikes at four campuses to demand higher pay and better benefits. The strikes, organized by the California Faculty Association, represent a response to stalled contract negotiations with the university system. The union is seeking a 12% pay increase for the current academic year, while the university has offered a 5% increase for each of the next three years. The strikes aim to demonstrate the union's ability to organize its members for job actions if necessary.
